As many of you already know, I have caught the running bug over the past 1.5 years. I am continuing to challenge myself with increased running challenges. I have successfully run 2 Full Marathons, and 8 Half Marathons. For 2011, I have increased the total race distances I am entering. This season will begin with the Shamrock Shuffle in April with a short 8K in downtown Chicago. I will then be running in 3 Half Marathons, 3 Full Marathons (Chicago and New York are 2 majors) and the 204.1 mile Ragnar Relay in June. In total my training will log close to 2,700 miles through this season. That is more than 6 times the length of the State of Illinois (395 miles) and over 12 times the width of the state (210 miles). I am continuing to raise money to help my charity’s team, Non-Profit Chiropractic Organization (NPCO).

You can donate as little as $5 (cost of a large coffee at Starbucks), donate a dollar for every mile run in the marathon ($26), or more if you wish. When I have finished the race season and look back, I would have run more than I ever thought possible. I will continue to push myself both physically and mentally with every race. Your support helps me push forward through the long miles and through to the finish.

Non-Profit Chiropractic Organization (NPCO) is an official 501(c)3 organization that is dedicated to providing chiropractic healthcare to individuals, families and communities living within the harsh realities of poverty around the world.
